Victims The criminal justice system is working to decrease crime. The state of Rhode Island in recent years has raised the minimum wage, created more job opportunities, they have made a $500 child tax credit to help families out, the property rate has been lowered, more loans are being offered. They have revamped their education system by highering better qualifies teachers, purchasing better technology, grants have been given to students in need, and job training has been more widely offered. to decrease the crime in Rhode Island we would enact programs such as DARE to teach the younger population about good decision making, the NoBully program to alert about hate crimes, and other violence due to personality, race, and orientation. I think they would work because having a strong influence of these programs targeted at such a younger population would instill the values for anti-crime behavior. http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hc2008/data/table_01.html Males are convicted over three times as Women. This is because (according to Karl Marx) society focuses on the need for change and due to excess testosterone men more frequently act out violently or illegally for their desire.

Whites were convicted almost five times as much as blacks. This is not surpising because whites are 88.5 % of the population.
